The Fields Of Athenry

Biography:

Dropkick Murphys is a punk rock band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts, United States in 1996. First playing together in the basement of a friend's barbershop, the band made a name for itself because of its relentless touring and for its annual St. Patrick's Day weekend shows in Boston. The band's songs often deal with Celtic influences, and the working-class environment in which the band members grew up.

The band put out a series of EPs and was signed by Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong's label Hellcat Records.

Verse: (Guitar 1 Tacet)

D
By a lonely prison wall
G D A
I heard a young girl calling
D G A
Michael, they have taken you away
D G
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
D A
So the young might see the morn
A D

Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

(Guitar 1 enters on D chord, both guitars grad. lift PM)

D G D Bm
Low lie the fields of Athenry
D Bm A
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
D G D A
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
A D
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
A A D D

Nothing matters, Mary when you're free
D G
Against the famine and the Crown

I rebelled, they cut me down
A D
Now you must raise our child with dignity

For her love in Botany Bay

It's so lonely ‘round the fields of Athenry
